But can't you create MYFILE view as

WITH T1 AS (SELECT...)

and then update MYFILE ?

Chuck,

Thanks for the explanation. I'm afraid I confused the view created with the
CTE itself.



Right. What I really would like is the following syntax to work:

WITH T1 AS (SELECT ...)
UPDATE MYFILE

I don't want to update the temporary table, but I want to use the
temporary table to select which records to update in MYFILE, or which
values to use. I wish I wish I wish...
